["Whether you're using a grill or the oven, preheat it to hot (about 450u00b0 ambient temp in the grill; 495u00b0 for convection oven*). If you're using a pizza stone, remember to put it on or in at this time (NOT when the grill/oven is already hot).

Roll out your crust on a piece of parchment. Drizzle your half with the olive oil, and then use your fingers to rub it in evenly. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and garlic slivers.", "In a skillet, cook your bacon until about halfway or 3/4 of the way done. You don't want it to burn later. Remove and drain on paper towels. Pour out most of the bacon drippings, leaving just enough in the skillet to coat the bottom. Return the pan to medium-high heat, and add the chopped collards. Stir to coat with drippings and cook for 3-4 minutes. In the meantime, chop the bacon (I remove any egregiously sized fat chunks). When the greens have started to soften and wilt, throw the bacon crumbles back in, toss, and remove the skillet from heat. Don't overcook them.", "Head back to your prepared pizza crust and atop the pepper flakes and garlic slivers, place the tomato and mozzarella slices. Then spoon your greens and bacon mixture evenly over all that.", "If you're grilling, use a pizza peel to put the pizza (parchment and all) on the hot stone, and cook 7 minutes.

Remove from the stone and grate fresh pecorino over the top. Season with some Maldon if you think it needs it.", "*When we use our convection oven without the stone, we prebake our crust for 7-8 minutes on parchment. Then we remove the crust from the parchment, dress it with our toppings and return to the oven to cook for another 11 or so minutes.

When using our oven and the stone, we don't prebake.
